Question A shot in the dark - help me find out which band / song is in question!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi fellow TBers!

I'm trying to track down a certain song I came accross Youtube about a year ago but the only thing I can remember is a vague memory of the music video.

It's a progressive / psychedelic rock song from the late 60s or 70s. Hippie guys are playing on top of some rundown apartment, the camera work is sloppy and it's mostly just swapping from one camera angle to another. I saw it off Youtube and the quality was quite poor. Most significant thing I can remember is that the bassist was playing with a Danelectro Longhorn (which sadly wasn't that uncommon at the time).

I eagerly hope someone knows what I'm talking about. I think it was a fairly popular band but my google-fu seems to be lacking.

If this is a wrong section for this, please move it to the correct one.

Just a hunch, but try Googling "13th Floor Elevators" and see what you get...

Sadly this wasn't it.

Wasn't the Beatles on top of the Apple Records office bldg, was it?


Never heard of Paul playing a Danelectro, maybe it was an outtake...

Not a longhorn, but your description reminded me of this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5oNd6RziDo

Nah, it wasn't something as renown as The Beatles.

This is really goddamn close but no cigar. I'm 100 % sure of the Longhorn having an apperance in it. It wasn't an instrumental either, there definitely was a vocalist.
